It's hard to think of a better festive side dish than a bowl of glazed pearl onions.

Ingredients

1 cup red pearl onions

1 tsp honey

2 Tbs red wine vinegar

1 Tbs olive oil

Directions

Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil and add unpeeled pearl onions. Boil for 1 minute, strain, and place onions in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Using a sharp knife, slice of the root end of the onions. Squeeze from the top, and your onion should slide right out.

Whisk together honey and red wine vinegar. Set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add peeled pearl onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to brown.

Pour honey and vinegar mixture over onions and stir to evenly coat them. Bring heat to medium-low and continue to sauté onions until the sauce reduced to a syrup.

Serve warm.
